Call Up XM Radio at 800-967-2346, select changes to your account on the voicemail from Hell system, hold for a few minutes and then tell them, "I'm calling for the 1 year of service for $77 promotion," they will connect you to rentention. Your credit card is billed for the year in one shot for $77. Found out about this on the Grand Prix site, called, did it, and thought I'd share here.

For those of you that haven't called, make sure you're service is coming up for renewal or have just renewed from GM automobile. For those of us that have had XM for a while and have not renewed we're basically SOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess folks are having different experiences - although I was going quarter to quarter, never paid in advance so that may be the difference (and had just come off of my three month free trial on the GP)

We have investigated your request and our records indicate that the promotion in question is geared toward specific customers who met certain criterions and had purchased new GM or Honda vehicles. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

This came straight from xm so not everyone is meeting the stringent criteria apparently. I must have bought the WRONG GM vehicle

My free 3 months expires 9/29/05. I just called the number at the beginning of the tread. they asked me to verify names on acct, address, and DOB. I asked for the 1yr/$77.00 special. They said no problem but I had to call back to a different dept at 1-800-998-7900 and they would assist me.

I called and again I had to verify address and I asked for the 1yr/$77.00. She said "no problem bear with me". After a few hums and waits she told me I was all set and that my subsription will go in effect as of Oct 1st. I questioned how my current service expires on 9/29 and she said there will be no interuption with service and that she set it to roll-over to the new subsrciption.

Now my real worry No money was asked for. She told me I will get a bill in the mail for the subsription. I offered a credit card for the accnt, she said no I can pay by mail or credit card when I get the bill. : I like this but question it too...Are they that despriate to keep listeners by going the old fashioned way off billing and waiting for payment? Hope so...I may call back tomorrow to verfy my order. It just sounds to goo to be true...

Thanks for the heads up! I liked the XM in my '05 2500 that I bought 2 Roady 2's for the other cars in the fleet. The 2500 and the wife's XC are in the family plan. I think I will call them tomorrow and see if they will honor this for my Camry radio which is considered my primary radio.

All right! I figured it was worth it for $77. Called and was connected right away. Asked if I received something in the mail and said who knows. Lots of mail just gets thrown away. He then put me on hold to see if I was eligible. Said I was. $77 no tax and should be up and running in a few minutes. THanks for the info. By the way, new AV in June, XM expired in September if that makes a difference.
